Chicken Pesto

This is on the Paula Deen web page and sounds like a winner to me. The flavor of pesto, chicken alongside veggies and fettuccine is a great combination and so easy and quick to prepare.
Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) package fettuccine

1 pound fresh chicken tenderloins

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow squash, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

2 cups heavy whipping cream

¼ cup prepared pesto

Instructions

Pepare fettuccine according to package directions and keep warm. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove from skillet, and cut into ½-inch pieces.

Add onion and bell pepper to skillet, and cook, over medium heat, for 3 to 4 minutes, or just until tender. Add squash and zucchini, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or just until tender. Stir in cream and pesto, and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add pasta and chicken, tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately.

Purchase Book

March has arrived and gives us the usual winds which tend to send me quickly to the store to stock up on a case of hairspray! It also brings out spring decor which usually centers around bunnies, spring flowers and gorgeous days of sunshine. As we look forward to the end of the month when Christians all over the world celebrate Easter, may this month center around more than just bunny decor and spring flowers. May we center our hearts around how we should be looking around at folks that might need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. My prayer for March is that I might live in such a way that will make anyone I encounter ask me where I place my hope. Besides the spring colors and bunnies that I put out around the house, may each person that enters our front door feel God's love and presence in such a way that will draw them to Him.
Sunday the pastor ask this question, "my hope is in ____________"
Where is my hope? Is It in where I live? My family" My spouse" My job" Or is it in the Living God that loves us so much He gave His Son to us that we might, through Him, have eternal life. March is a time of renewal, new growth, new hope.......may your hope be found in Him!
